Working with Hibernate in a Spring 2.5 Environment

This session will teach you the essentials of using Hibernate with the latest version of Spring to develop database-backed applications.

Hibernate is a solid framework bridging the gap between relational databases and object-oriented middle tiers. Spring is a solid infrastructure framework removing the need for plumbing code like getting a data source or starting and ending a transaction. In this session you will learn what each of these tools can offer and how you can use them together to build data access applications with a strong and consistent architectural layering.

Comparing Open Source Web Service Frameworks

What framework should you go with to develop web services in Java? How do the major frameworks compare in terms of features and development style? This session will provide a fair evaluation of the three major open-source web services frameworks Apache Axis, XFire CXF, and Spring Web Services. A number of factors will be considered to help attendees select the best overall framework for their requirements.
